RTF report not displaying diagram elements

[Ainsley Haslett]

I am attempting to generate an RTF report for use case structured scenarios. The actors and some use cases are not contained in the package having the diagram, and when I generate the RTF the report does not automatically include all use cases and actors displayed on the contained diagram, as I would expect.

I am using EA v8.0.858
I have set the diagram properties 'Document each container element in RTF' in the diagram properties screen
I have set 'Include all diagram elements in report' in the 'Generate RTF Documentation' screen before clicking 'Generate'

Is there a bug that conflicts use case scenarios with the ability to include diagram elements in the report? I ask this becase the standard template 'use case scenario template' does not work either even after modifying to include the sections 'child packages' 'Element > Child Elements' etc.

The closest I can get is including 'Diagram > Element' but this only works if only the 'name' field is included and breaks if 'notes' is also displayed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure if you have covered this off, but the template needs to have Package > Package element selected

Didn't make any difference I'm afraid. I think it might be an issue unique to Use Cases... awaiting Sparx to come back on this

I solved the problem so wanted to post on details of the fix:

The key is to include the tags Diagram and Diagram > Element

Don't add any fields into the tags, just leave the tags there. To fix the problem I had to recreate the template from blank as the OOTB template did not work when I attempted to modify it.

So in summary, it is possible for use cases from alternative packages to be rencered into the RTF based on being present in the diagram - it is just fiddly having to create a use case diagram template from new.
